The Master Workman Pays Them His
Respects Most vigorously.

PHILADELPHIA, July S.-General Master
Workman Powderly, in the journal of
United Labor published to-day, pays his
respects to the grain and stock brokers in
vigorous manner. Referring to the re
cent corners in coffee and wheat, Mr..
Fowderly says
"The lessons taught our members by
the experience of the past six weeks is to
keep their eyes open and to keep them
turned toward the produce exchanges of
New York, Chicago and other large cities,
and the moment the grain or produce
gambler stacks the cards and announces
there is scarcity in a certain article Of
food-that the prices 20 up in consequence
every member should resolve and repeat
out loud that until the unhallowed hand
of the specultor has been removed from
the control of the article in question, not a
pound nor an ounce more than can be
avoided will be purchased.
This may be regarded in the light of a
boycott notice. That is exactly what
intended it for and had the power vest
ed in me to make the order imperative
would order every member, so far as in
him lies the power to place an eternal
boycott on every grain and stock gambler
in the United States and Canada"

A PROJECTED MARRIAGE.

The World hears from Italy that
the ex-Empress Eugene has in per-
son communicated her approval Of
the marriage of Princess Letitia to
Prince Roland Bonaparte, and has
signlfied her intention of settling
dot on the young lady, and present
ing her with all her jewellery. But
the course of what may be presumed
true love, nevertheless, does not run
smooth, although it is true that the
paternal Plon-plon is quite willing
that his daughter should wed the
son of his despised cousin Pierre and
of the milliner Clemence Ruflin.
But King Humbert remains obsti.
nately opposed to the match his
repugnance being caused chiefly by
the circumstance that Prince RO-
lands income, Of over $4,000 n
year, is derived from the profits of
the Monte Carlo gaming tables. He
was pcnniless until he married
Marie Blanc, who died in 1882,
leaving behind her an infant daugh.

children in Europe. -[Home News.

JAPANESE WRESTlERS.

The average japanese man will
weigh 1875 pounds. One of the
wrcstlers will weigh from 200 TO 25O
pounds, and is head and shoulders
above the other people. So marked
is the difference that you see them
several blocks away as they tower
above the crowds in the streets.
The women of this class are fine
physical specimens also. This is
probably the only instance in the
world where only the best physical
specimens of men and women in
ter-marry, and the result is such as
TO deserve attention. The wrestlers
form troupes of fifteen or twenty
each and travel from town to town,
where they always meet q rival
troupe and the two companies give
exhibitions. BY these means there
are no hippodromes, but genuine
exhibitions of strength, skill and
activity.
These exhibitions are generally
held in large buildings improvised
from bamboo poles for the purpose.
They will accommodate thousands
of people, and thousands are always
there. The rival troupes are seated
on opposite sides of the house, and
the managers arrange the match.
When it comes to the meeting of the
champions Of the respective troupes
the interest is intense and large
amounts are staked on the result.
The favorites are stimulated by the
offer of large sums of money from
their friends in case they win. These
entertainments last whole after
noon, and in the large towns extend
through q week or two. These ath.
letic sports are popular and so well
patronized that wrestlers of any
considerable note accumulate small
fortunes. The production of such
class of giants in so short time
from so small race is proof o.
what might be done to improve thu
physique of the human race ant
measurably to Danish disease and al
infirmities.-- Japan letter.

More than 100 years ago, when Capt.
Cook visited the island of Hawaii, Kane
hameha was a mere STRIPPING. Eight or
ten years afterward he had achieved a
name for his talent for war and his
daring exploits. He rose rapidly until he
became the first man Of his land. When
his uncle Kalaniopu, who was chief Of
the island of Hawaii, died. he inherited
the position as chief of north Hawaii. 1t
was not long before he brought under his
power the remaining tribes of the island,
and not satisfied with this, he conquered
the neighboring islands of Maui, Kauai
and Oahu. In 1906 this active warrior
found himself at the head of n large king

The London police courts arc much like
the police courts in American cities, only
more disheartening If possible. Crime is
more robust, has greater prestige of age
than in America. Its types are more
settled; its roots have sunk deeper into

the scenes are, indeed, worthy the pencil
of an artist.
Detectives, who are supposed to be ever
vigilant, stroll in and out of Marlborough
street, watchful and alert with an eye
upon everybody within range. Here is a
notorious character known as "Robert
the Devil" who makes work for the
police. Even the small boys know him,
and when he is in his cups they troop
after him and "chivey'' him to their
hearts content. Robert the Devil fire.
